this is just stupid...anyway, tried changing the extension to a txt file and got the same results
whenever i try to rename , delete or cut and paste exe files i get an error msg that sais the file might be in use but it isn't.... any ideas? |
This same problem is occuring with me aswell, thats how i stubbled upon this site.
The best way i've found to delete these files is to use "KillBox". Just google it and it should pop right up.
[Use]
1. Open Killbox from the zip folder(no extraction needed)
2. Click the yellow folder icon in the window(same as "Browse..."), and navigate to the file you want to delete.
3. Then the followinf options should be selected.
·Standard File Kill
·End Explorer Shell Whille Killing File
4. Then click the red (X) button at the top and wait for it to kill.
This way is easier then having to completly reboot and run through safe mode.
Most people don't even know the command to kill the file.
